Background: Limited details are available regarding the vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women. The authors’ current study aimed to report the vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 infection in a woman pregnant with twins. Case description: The authors report the case of a 27-year-old woman infected with SARS-CoV-2. The patient was pregnant with dichorionic diamniotic fraternal twins and admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China. After undergoing a cesarean section, the patient gave birth to premature twins, who tested positive for COVID-19 infection. Interpretation: Findings from this case suggest a possibility of intrauterine infection caused by vertical transmission in a woman infected with COVID-19.
